I saw him copying the plan at the wiridow. Cross-examed by Mr. BROUGHAM—I attended the mosque .in Turkey and the chapel here. Mr. Bucking ham at D'Jerash, was wilting, and Mr. Baukee 'speaking and drawing. I gave the Arabs a little money on the journey ; very little on the journey ; very little spent. Mr. Charles Barry has travelled in Palestine, and visited the ruins of the city of D'Jerash with Messrs. Godfrey, Wise, and Paine; they were there nearly two days ; they had an opportunity of taking a eoniplete plan of the place. He had every reason to believe that plan is correct. He had compared the plan in Mr. Buckingham's books with the defendant's original plan, a n d t hey do not correspond; the deviations in Mr. B uc ki ng h am ' s p l an are i naccur a te; ,in his plan the walls are waxy in some part; that, is not correct; in that respect Wily resemble Mr. Bankea's; as far as my observation went, tile walls were straight and angular. The witness proceeded to point out the different varia tions in the plans of Mr. Bankes, and Mr. Buckingham, and his own. The Hon. Capt. Irby, an officer in the Royal Navy, in the year 1818 accompanied Mr. Mangles to b'sleraSh, and during two visits to that place, made a complete plan, which agrees with Mr. Barry's in some instances, and with the plaintiff's and defendant's in others; in 1817 he was travelling in Egypt, and heard that the plaintiff, instead of going on his mission, had bean travelling about in search of antiquities. Mr. Mangles's evidence was nearly to the same purpose. Colonel Leak, who had travelled in Egypt some years ago, has seen some of the inscriptions in Mr. Bucking ham's book, which contain errors he should not have ex pected frum any one acquainted with Greek. Mr. Arrowsmith, a geographer, who had examined Mr. Bankes's and Mr. Buckingham's plans, pointed out nume rous variations between them. Mr. BROUGHAM having addressed the Jery in reply, commented on the impossibility of believing the evidence of the two foreigners, who could scarcely understand the : plain question put to them now, and nine years ago Pre tended to have understood the whole of the conversation between Mr. Bankes and Mr. Buckingham ; and on the total failure of the justification pleaded by the defendant, concluded a most eloquent appeal by declaring that he left the case in their hands, confident that from the defendant he would receive such damages as would convince the world that the charges of the defendant were wholly un founded. The LORD CHM JUSTICK, in summing up the evi dence to the Jury, expressed his opinion that on the first issue there must be a verdict for the plaintiff. His Lord ship then proceeded to read the libel, and having remarked on the evidence produced in justification, stated, that in his opinion that also had failed in establishing the defence set up. The only question, therefore, remaining for their consideration, was the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. If they took into consideration the feelings of the defendant at the moment the libel was written, there might be some excuse for him : for it cer- believed, the plaintiff had engaged not to write any notes of his journey. But, however they might consider the feelings of the defendant at the time of writing the letter, there. was riot the same excuse for him when he gave the copy to Mr. Hoblionse ; lint he trusted they would give such temperate damages as would prove that their verdict was the resuk of.sober reflection and discretion. The Jury having retired for nearly three-quarters of an hour, returned with a verdict for the plaintilt—Da images, 4001. This cause commenced at half-past nine o'clock in the morning, and the verdict was not returned till a quarter to seven o'clock in the evening. LITTER TO MR. BUCKINGHAM', DATED Tftoll TIM!, JUNE 12, 1819. Mr. tuckingham—After some anecdotes respecting your con duct, which you c►unot but suspect must have come, however late, to my knowledge before this time, you cannot expect that I should address you otherwise than I should the lowest of man kind. It is, indeed, with reluctance that I stoop to address you at all. It will require, however, uo long preface to acquaint you with the object of this letter, since your own conscience will point it out to you from the moment that you shall recognize a hand writing which must be familiar to you, since yon have copied it, and are about to turn the transcript to account. You have hoped that the distance of place would befriend you—you have hoped that I should shrink from proclaiming that I have been imposeil upon. It would have been far more politic in you to have shrunk from being proclaimed the man who has imposed. . In that adverti;einent, by which you announe4 as your own the works of another, you have at least spared me the humiliation of being named in the list of your, friends. Though the motive of this is sufficiently obvious f and it furnishes in itself both a proof and an aggravation of your culpability, yet some of those who are made to appear in that list, would rather, I am persuaded, that you had invaded their property as you have dune mine, than have subjected them to so unmerited a stigma; one amongst the num ber (whom you would not have dared even to allude to had be been alive) is unhappily unable to repel the imputation in his own person,—l mean the late Mr. Burckhardt, whom you so ho pudently cite as your bosons friend. The boast is rash and ill-timed. Are you not aware that copies of a letter are extant, in which he styles you a villain, in whieh be says that the rogue can he brought to a sense of duty only by a kirk ? Do you wish then to publish your own disgrace, by letting the world know h ow we ll you were known to that excellent person , who, d ur i ng t h e two last yea - re of his life, lost no opportunity of testifying his contempt and eversion for your character. Do not imagine that these sentiments were confined to the page of a single letter. Sheik Ibrahim was too open and too honour.. able to wish others to be deceived, as he had been fora time him self. Had his letters to me reached me sooner than they did, .I should have had timely warning to beware how I trusted you, and you would never have had that opportunity which you have seized of abusing my kindness and confidence. It is beneath me to expostulate with you, hut I will state some facts to yourself, which I have already stated to others—.-that the journey beyond Jordan to Dgerask and Oomkais was arrang ed, and the Arabs under engagement to conduct me thither, be fore I ever saw. you ; that you introduced yourself to me by a letter stating that you were intimate with time of my best friends, and studiously concealing from rue (both th e n an d after wards) that you were in any person's employ ; that it MIS at my invitation (I being always under the supposition that you were a free agent) t h a t you went with roe, having previously agreed to take down my notes and the journal when I should wish it; that the whole expences of that journey were upon me; that the notes and journal were in great part taken down from my mouth (especially what rebate to Dgerask), w ith the exception of that of th e two or three last days, whi c h were written w i t h my own hand, and afterwards copied fair by y ou ; b ut, ahoy* a ll, that the pl an o f t h e ru i ns at Dgerask was constructed and noted with my own hand, and that all the assistance diet I derive(' from you, even in collecting the materials for it, was in ingitfoirs i n: a ie rdi th y o ne re cess lath ar ; batoarerinnglisndof:lne, that build 'y . o ing ur s a w se it r l iA i mY compass ; tha,aa to the plan of the theatre, you did not even know that I had made it till you law it at Nazareth. you neither copied a single inscription, nor made a single sketch on the spot( since you are, I know, i ncapa ble of the One, an d y o ur iguoranre o f Latin and Greek must, 1 should suppose, unfit you for the other ; add to which, you had not a single sheet of paper on which you could have done either, if I except a pocket-book about four inches square. • The great ground-plan was traced at a Wi114101 , 1 of the ;wept at Nazareth (as both my servants can testify), and yoU have copies from my drawings at the tombs at Oomkais, taken at the same time. These last are probably to furnish the vignettes and appropriate engravings which are announced. Surely you must laugh at the simplicity of your subscribers When you are alone, with whom you are to pass for a draughts man, being ignorant of the'very first principles of design ; for an accurate copier of inscriptions, being ignorant of all the ancient languages ; and for an explainer of antiquities, being incapable of even distinguishing between the architecture of the Turks and the Romans. I have said enough. It is in vain to attempt to make a man sensible of ingratitude who ha* been guilty of fraud. What I demand is the immediate restitution or those copies from my papers, without exception, and without your retaining any duplicates of them. Let them be put into the hands of Sir Evan Nepean, wheat I have begged that he will do me the favour to take charge of them ; and let all that portion of the work adver tised that treats of a journey made at soy expense, and compiled from my notes, be suppressed. I leave you otherwise to take the consequence, should you persist. The matter shall be notified in a manner that shall make your character as notorious in England and India as it is already in Egypt and Syria. You will find that you have not duped an obscure individual, who is obliged to bear it and hold his tongue. WM. J. BANKES. When this letter waa written, I did not know that the person to whom it is addressed was editor of the paper in which his long winded advertisement appeared, but supposed him to be still at Bombay. Carefully examined this copy with the original copy of let ter this 9th day of December, 1825. WAI. LEMAN, L. EDMUNDS, 61, Lincoln'*-inn-fields. COMMON HALL, OCT. 19. CORN LAWS. (CONCLUDED FROM OUR FIRST EDITION Or YESTERDAY.) Mr. Hoer now presented himself to the meeting, and was warmly received. " What," he exclaimed, "is there no one here in this Hall to hiss me? It is really unaccountable that I should appear here without being Mewed ; and if I do not do something to retrieve my character before I leave, I shall begin to suspect my own principles.—(Laughter.)—He then proceeded to say, that he would not detain them after the long speeches which they had heard. But those who had preceded him had spoken theoreti cally, he would now speak to them practically. It was quite true what had been advanced by the last Speaker, that the repeal of the Corn Laws, if obtained, would be by no means a pa nacea for their grievances. Any man who advanced such a proposition was either an impostor, coming forward to mislead the public, or he was imposed upon himself. The calamities which they all felt could not be ascribed to the Corn Laws alone, but were the effects of s system of abuse and misgovernment, and ias a variety of quarters. Mr. Stevens, when he spoke of the farmers supporting the system of Corn Laws, and anticipating the perma nency of their prosperity under it, slid not anticipate that a farmer was to follow him in addressing the Hall. He denied that the farmer had been changed during the war—he was still the same—(No ! no! from several voices.)—he continued the same that he was a century ago, exercising the 'Anse degree of hospitality and good feeling to those around him. It was true there had been efforts made to refine some portion of that clue during the war, but he denied that they were general, or characteristic of the fanner alone. He was in a green-grocer's shop with a friend the other day when a man came in to buy a farthing's worth of onions. On looking through into the hack roam, there was Miss, the green-grocer's daughter, moving her fingers over the piano, with as much taste as had, perhaps, to contend that the landowners, and not the farmers, were be nefitted by a continuance of the Corn Laws. Hewould state a fact which he has often stated to the individuals themselves, that if the price of the corn was trebled, the price of hthourere' wages ought also to he trebled ; lie would also state another fact, in the parish of Hampshire where he was born, when a flintier paid 600/. per year rent, and sold the wheat for ttos. per sack, the labourer received 6s. per week, and now he only received 7a. per week,w hen the rent of that same farm was at the enormous sum of 1800/. per year. At the time he lived in that village there were only three re puted thieves there, now there are not three honest men to be found in the village. He was told by a farmer in Hampshire that his father paid snore for tithes than was formerly paid for rent, taxes, and all. The landholders are assembling and calling these meetings in private. He was one of those who gave Mr. Canning and Mr. Huskisson thanks for their exertions, but for the last three or four years of pros perity we have lately had misery and starvation. If a t aiitlereagh had been at the head of the present Ministry instead of a Canning,there would have been bloodshed all over the country; it was the cursed Pitt system under which we were now suffering. Castlereagh had only done one act of justice to his country, that was his last act, the cutting of his own throat. He asked the Livery if they remembered his suffering, and how they were jeered at in the House of Commons. The Landowners say corn enough cannot be raised in this country sufficient for the support of the people ; if the tithes and game laws were abolished, more than aufhcient corn would be raised, and they would be able to export instead of import. There are 1,200 bushels of wheat grown lees than there would be, if it was not for the hares, in ono parish iu Hampshire. He had made a slight calculation, whWi might be sent forth to the world. Ile then showed l 4 bill, headed " Eng land's Curee..--the Corn Laws." It did•great injury to the cause; it would take Id millions of money to supply the people of England with bread for one year at the price taf bread at Calais, and in England bread was double the price in France; the parish-rates have become a parish tax, and wben we have a bold Ministry chosen by a reformed House of Commons, they would restore the Crown lands which George the 1. and George IL received their income from; they would also take the tithes. I would, said Mr. Hunt, if I was a Minister—(laugh ter)—have all the Ministers supported in a manlier which they ought to be, but the tithes should be sold for the benefit of the country. He would also take the corporation lends, and all the mis-applied charities. He then told a curious tale of a corporation, who having a penny loaf to give.to all the poor people, on a certain day, every year, delayed . giving the loaf until three years, and afterwards forgot it altogether. Soinething else must be done besides the repeal of the Corn Laws—the public funds must come down ; because we have had 25 or 80 years of extravagant expenditure, and now a day of economy is MM., it will be felt much more. He would conclude by repeating what he once before raid, no good would conic to the country until Mr. every 6 o c ne pr oi r ig u h , t ee to ki c a o A n id ie ,litn Pitt' had been removed into the i s m tr b e l e it t , a s r p i e d a Ti ki l n a g es:d ) an ,et ti o z n ed so . receive only '7s. ; and that all they received now went to par- ., for wardnll.l;l aW i ti n tß l al ;i2 bl:l , I t ca h ti lttil'was a labourers pi ripresent, et received:ts . . chase flour.' mo l u s e h i e y.

(coNetunED FROM OUR FiRsT EDITION OF YrsTrnoAv.) Evidence for the Defence. Antonio da Costa (examined through the medium of an interpeeter) is a Portuguese, and was in the service of Mr. Bankes in Syria for seven years and a half from the year 1813 ; had went with him into Egypt and Palestine ; was with him at Jerusalem, and first saw Mr. Buckingham at the convent at Jerusalem ; Mr. Bankes was at that time on the Dead Sea; Mr. Buckingham gave him a letter for Mr. Bankes ; he said would I be so kind as to deliver him a letter ; he said he had come from Bethel, and had been in Egypt ; he said Sheik Ibrahim and Mr. Burckhardt had recommended him to Mr. Bankes ; he mentioned also the name of Colonel Misset ; I delivered the letter to Mr. Bankes; he read it and tore it in pieces.

Mr. Buckingham again made application to him for two or three days, for Mr. Bankes to give his answer ; Mr. Buckingham promised not to draw or write at all, he only wanted to go for plea sure; before Mr. Bankes gave permission for him to go, he made that condition with him ; I saw the party set out —Mahomed, the servant from Egypt, Mahomed Edi, and two Arabs. Mahomed, the servant, carried with him a portfolio, and tin case for drawing paper and compas ses, all Mr. Bankes's; Mr. Buekingliam had no portfolio or paper for drawing ; I kept Mr. Bankes's money all the tune; it was placed in his bag; he had some money in a bag that was round him in his girdle. I went to meet them at Nazareth. When they - returned, three Arabs came with them. Mr. Buckingham had no servant with him; he was left to go from Jerusalem to Nazareth. By my master's order, I gave the Arabs 250 piastres. I con tinued to keep the money. Mr. Buckingham never put any money into it. He asked me to lend him 10 dollars out of it. I said it was my muster's, and I could not do it without his. orders. I ,afterwards received an order from Mr. :Minims to lend him 10 dollars. I saw a little book in my master's possession—it was my master's, brought from Madrid. I saw it with Mr. :Buckingham at Nazareth, he was taking a copy from it on paper.

Twyford is a beautiful retired village, about three miles from Winchester. Crime and misfortune have been long alike unknown to its simple annals, but an event has just occurred there which has deeply affected its humble popu lation, and created very general interest in this neighbour hood. Rebecca IVlabbett, a girl :just turned of 17 years, and of pleasing person and manners, resided in the village, . in the bumble character of servant to one of the tradesmen. Her stay in the family had been about 14 months : she was highly esteemed by all of them, was without imputation on her conduct, and naturally of a cheerful disposition. The gossips of the village had noticed in her occasional fits of seriousness, which led them to remark to each other, that " Becky" would not be long-lived, but they were tran sient, and to those who were constantly near her, did not seem to affect her general character. Like all village she had a lo ver , ' three years older k un ir d ls than herself, was the favoured individual. This simple ry att c ra i c i t a i l ozss girl appears to have had, and to have carried into personal Hne a possessed youth nonfate execution, a determination to destroy herself. with a firmness of purpose and constancy which have seldom been surpassed. The causes which led to it, notwiths standing the investigation which followed, have been very imperfectly developed. She was entirely ignorant of the nature of poisons, which was the mode she resorted to f or self-destruction ; but she had heard that a substance called arsenic was used for destroying rats. Her first step was to consult a plough-boy named George Oxford, a lad of her own age, about it, and she asked bins if be knew wiles thee arsenic was in powder or in bottles, but he could give her no information on the subject. This occurred on Thursday last; and on the afternoon of that day, accord ing to the evidence given at the inquest by her mistress, Elisabeth Young, she was in the kitchen with Rebecca, when she suddenly burst into tears, and on being ques tioned as to the cause, replied that " she had a weight upon her mind, but she could not tell what; and that she felt a dread as though she had done something wrong." In vain her mistress urged her to explain, and assured her that her conduct was without reproach ; she could get nothing further from her. On the following morning she appeared more composed, and nothing more was thought of her state of mind; but on that day (Friday) she was extremely pressing with Chalk, her lover,.to let her know when he was going to Winchester, as she wished him to bring her a parcel from thence. On Saturday Chalk agreed to go to Winchester, and was in structed to bring from thence sixpenny- wort h of, arsenic, which she wanted for the purpose of destroying rats, which she said were very troublesome in the room where she slept. The lovers proceeded together towards Winchester, along the towing-path of the barge-river, in which direc tion Rebecca had been sent on an errand by her mistress, and she waited there till Chalk returned from the city with the poison, which he gave into her possession, and accompanied her home. The unfortunate girl swallowed about two tea-spoons-full of the drug about six o'clock the same evening, in some tea her mistress had prepared for her. Immediately afterwards she sent for her lover, who came to her, and they walked together down the village. She had, probably, intended to tell what she had done, but had not courage to do so, as they had no particular conversation. When they came to a stile on their return, she complained of being unwell, and proceeded to he s sis ter's house, who resided in the village,, and threw herself down on a table. Her friends pressed her to explain the cause of her illness, but nothing could be collected from her, and by an effort she once more rouse d h erself up, we n t out of the back door, and sat down in a chair. Chalk ' joined her, and they walked down the garden together. On their return she t6ok from her pocket a portion of the arsenic he had purchased, and gave it into his possession, desiring him never to reveal that he had bought it for her. He asked if she had taken any of it; but she made no =Ater_ `tithe pii&onteconung more apparent, no doubt rernsti:ned of the nature of the act she had committed her Mends and neighbours were called in, and the alarm that Rebecca had poisoned herself spread through the village. All ap plications to learn from her the rause of her rash act were useless; she was either silent, or said she would tell "bar father" the next morning. This was the Hume by w hi c h , she was used to call her sister's hi:shield—for she had inci parents.—. Medical aid wits procured from Winchester, the nearest place where it was to be found ; but as some hours were lost in doing so, it was, of course, too late, and the unhappy girl expired at about two o'clock on Sun-. day morning. An inquisition was held on the body yes terday, and some s'orpiciou attaching to Chalk, on ac count of his having been instrumental in proc'ering the poison, he was taken into custody to await tlr;isse e; but the evidence disclosed- nothing in any &vete tending to criminate him, and the lad sown situp v. statement of the share he had had in the transaction 'removed all doubts of his innocence. The facts shutting the unfortunate girl's steady determination of purpose, were all clearly esta blished, but not an rota bf evidence was adduced to explain the state of mind which produced it. No im putation was thrown on the nature of the connexion be tween her and Chalk, nor had any quarrel occurred be tween them. The Coroner, Mr. Todd, of this city, who conducted the investigation with much acuteness and impartiality, Seems to have entertained the suspicion that the mind of the poor girl might have been imbued with, e c . ligious horrors by communication withlsome of the netho distical sects ; lust that was not borne out by the. evidence. The fate of the unhappy Rebecca could not' he account ed for, on the strictest examination of the wi • tnesses, by any aberration of mind or temporary insanity. In the per formance of their melancholy . duty, it seems that no alter native was left to the Jury; a verdict of " Suicide, cow mitted in a sound state of mind," was returned against Rebecca Mabbett, and an order was issued for her inter. went the same night. I attended last night the closing scene of poor Rebecca's misfortunes, aSSI received from it impressions no tie de can efface: The moon was at the full, and the nip:As.h e i eg perfectly 'cloudless, every object could be dist:inguishini, except in the shady lanes, as perfectly as broad day light. The church at Tw:ford stands a little out of the high road, in a most romantic and hi;autiful spot, and the way to it is through one o f the sha;ai lanes I harts just mentioned. As I reached the village , the procession, consisting of the friends and relatives of Rebecca • h the corpse, followed by nearly she whol e o f t he ' with cottagers, and headed by the parish-ofhcers, to whom the execu tion of the setitence' was consi gne d , had,a just reached the bottom of this lane, and was turni • yard, on which th e moon shone it t . 1 41 Into the church u splendour.
